lol I'm never up that early : /

GMT: 9:30 if that's morning, I won't be able to, if it's evening, i may be able to do it depending on how big the run is...

I start at 4:30pm locally so i gotta make a squirrel stash of food near my computer :P

also, the idea of me streaming is becoming less and less of an option...

The only way I can do this is if you do it 8 am central US time lol... <_< I got some shit to do saturday.

I'm most likely gonna be busy, ah well. Maybe some other time.

I wanna give this a try, but I'm working.  Oh well.

A lot of people are saying they can't make it, is there some better time?

Maybe we could have a separate date for PAL players.

Make a poll on what time the event should take place?
I'm defiantly in; however my knowledge in Zelda is very limited and I just plain suck. : (

Nothing will work for everybody. We should set a specific time for north america and Europe. Central works for North America, but like G&S said he's up at some pretty batshit hours...

I don't think I'd call 10:30 batshit hours

Okay, 2 hours from this post it will start, everyone who wants to participate be in #zelda and have OoT at the file select screen (with one file deleted) at that time.

wtf chats not working

help

I win first place :D

October 17th Impromptu
IMPROMPTU GOAL: VISIT AND OBTAIN THE REWARD FROM ALL SIX GREAT FAIRY FOUNTAINS. TIME ENDS UPON THE SIXTH FAIRY FOUNTAIN CUTSCENE ENDING
Reminders: BA/RBA is allowed. Savewarping is allowed. Using a guide or watching a video during the run is allowed, though wastes time. You may restart your run at any time if you feel the need to do so, though this wastes quite a bit of time.
For those who do not remember, the six fairy fountains are Magic, Double Magic, Double Defense, Din’s Fire, Farore’s Wind, and Nayru’s Love. If you are using pictures or short videos for proof, take a picture upon obtaining each gift. Remember at the end to take video proof that you are using the right file.
If you are doing absolute or short recording instead of streaming, post where you are as much as possible, usually during cutscenes.
File Name: B2| That is the uppercase letter B and the number 2 | As soon as you input your name start your file and begin watching the intro cutscene.

RESULTS:
1. ZFG
2. ssbmproHRC
3. Jiano
4. BrianMP
5. keeta
6. Blizzerk
7. GlitchsandStuff
???. MrGrunz

Grunz will be awarded either 4th or 8th depending on if we choose to disqualify him or just give him a penalty. Let this be a lesson: even random glitchs must be dealt with (after all, Jiano had his game freeze and reloaded and kept playing anyways).

As for how the rupees will be awarded...we have to discuss that. I suggest a sitewide rupee chart, that involves ILs from all games and impromptu victories.

thanks for the writeup RingRush, I was gone this weekend

looks like it was fun. Once a month sounds perfect for this

what happened to Grunz? I know he used an emulator, but why is he being penalized?

He used a cheat to get a bottle in his inventory because he couldn't select the ocarina.

oh right, i thought he said he went back and got a deku stick?

the little bugger!

That's not a random glitch at all, I'm pretty sure Runnerguy knows the specifics of it

Yeah, if it was something like this, that's simply due to not enough items on your item screen. To fix it, pause, put it on the item screen, unpause, leave your current area, pause again...and it's on the highest item you have (most likely ocarina or if you did RBA bombs it would be on that bottle). I even do this in my segment 5 to get the ocarina equipped.

I don't mind emu runs if they are streamed but otherwise it's just too hard to know if savestates or fast forward was used. Something like using a cheat to get a bottle seems like it should be a time penalty...afterall, he could in fact do forest temple, go back in time (also would require hover boots and giant's knife I think), get a bottle, go forward through time, and continue (this is the time I'd add to the final time [it would be estimated obviously], plus maybe an extra 5-10 minutes for the penalty). Just as Jiano could reset and continue after his game froze.

So RingRush says he might not be able to host this next week. Runnerguy or myself might take over, depending on the situation

Who's competing next week?

Definitely me.

What time is it going to start?

I'll definitely compete. :)

I would if it wasn't OoT :P.

I'll join but I'm not that good.

me and this time on console :P

I'll be doing it. hopefully its in #impromptu again so I can actually talk  :-X

I'll try.  :D
